Using gret l for Principles of Econometrics, 4th Edition

Polynomials

One way to allow for nonlinear relationships between independent and dependent variables is to introduce polynomials of the regressors into the model. In this example the marginal effect of an additional dollar of advertising is expected to diminish as more advertising is used. The model becomes:

salesi = ві + e2pricei + faadverti + e4advert[21] [22] + e^ i = 1, 2,..., N (5.6)

To estimate the parameters of this model, one creates the new variable, advert2, adds it to the model, and uses least squares.

The variable a2, which is created by squaring advert, is a simple example of what is sometimes referred to as an interaction variable. The simplest way to think about an interaction variable is that you believe that its effect on the dependent variable depends on another variable-the two variables interact to determine the average value of the dependent variable. In this example, the effect of advertising on average sales depends on the level of advertising itself.

Another way to square variables is to use the square command

square advert

This creates a variable sq_advert and adds it to the variable list. Notice that gretl just adds the sq_ prefix to the existing variable name. You can square multiple variables at a time by just by adding them to the square command’s list.
